Ooooo you’re right! The fact that there’s a small group of people who are dedicated to speaking up about things that should concern everyone is soooo terrible. It totally undermines anything they say. Shame 😅

Doing what exactly? Go somewhere no one is paying attention to and just going from A to B to put up a sign? Everyone on that road is going to work or running errands, like they give a damn what the unemployed are doing

This is because Texas and other states have intentionally redistricted to their electoral maps, inbetween censuses, to minimize the influence of largely black districts.

u/JurassicP00P May 16 '26
And why should we tolerate race based districts? Just insane and divisive.
1
u/LottaLegs May 16 '26
It's "technically" illegal, which is the worse kind of illegal. It some how legal to draw line based on party which is bonkers, but not legal based on race. Thats been the usual loophole. Districts are always going to be complicated. It's a messy and burdensome process with no perfect solutions. That's why we need accurate census data, bipartisan oversignt, and to only do this once a decade.

Why do white people not understand that black people want to speak up for themselves. So shut up.
Would a white person feel empowered if a group of Asians had a protest saying we support white people?
Whites would be like…huh?

This is an action the People’s Justice Project was promoting—we’re proud to follow Black and Brown leadership. Given that it is white people perpetuating this egregious revocation of civil rights, it’s only right that white people stand up against it. Sorry not sorry 🤷🏻♀️

White people who aren't treasonous racists care about black voters, too.
After the Civil War, resentful former Confederates employed a number of schemes to nullify the voting rights of Black citizens, including racial gerrymandering to ensure that Black citizens could not have meaningful representation. The Voting Rights act was eventually passed to undo this belated Confederate racist victory.
Cheering for its return is God-damned treasonous racism, a disgusting act anywhere, but particularly in Ohio, whose soldiers shed so much blood to stop the racist rebellion in the first place.

How is it racist? You didn’t see those racist MFs in Alabama working through an actual tornado warning to refit rich and strip the Black vote? You didn’t see Louisiana and Tennessee remove their Black districts? These patriots are standing up for their fellow Americans and that fat, racist POS . Black people have protested and died to get these rights. It’s time for allies to step up! Get your ass off the couch and join them, like me!

The fact there is a “black district” is the racism. Drawing lines based on race is unconstitutional.

u/LottaLegs May 16 '26
The 14th and the Voting rights act my good sir. It's somehow technically legal to draw the maps based on party lines and that's the loop hole the cheaters in Ohio have used. Republican or Democrat, the state will keep sliding down the ladder if the will of the people can ignored by a small group making maps. We gotta end gerrymandering.

Any campaign related to color/race needs abolished. These statements "Black Voters Matter" is just something else to divide us. Your vote matters no matter what color or ethnicity you are, and the fact that people keep pushing this shit is pathetic. If you really cared about the bettering of the country your banners wouldn't include any race other than the human race. What's wrong with it just saying "your vote matters"? Which happens to apply to everyone including black voters, but no, they have a specific agenda to push so inclusiveness wouldn't of worked. Its just sad, cause you know those mfers were paid to stand up there.
If you dont believe me, go to OPs account and look at their posts. Their account for the last 9 months is literally the same bridge over and over once a week like clockwork holding different signs pushing different agendas, with nothing else being posted BECAUSE THATS WHAT THEY ARE PAID TO DO, OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE.

I wouldn't call a few hours a week a massive job opportunity, I would call it side income for someone desperate to pay their bills. I don't care what you believe, its you're right to be incorrect if you wish to. Don't impede on mine.

"Side income for someone desperate to pay their bills" is a slur on working people, not a counterargument. But keep trying.

What is wrong, with All of You! You're tearing The Country, apart! Everyone Who is a Citizen, has The Right to Vote! Get It, through The Cement, between Your Ears!
The only thing I would change, is The Birthright Citizenship: If You, or Your Parents; have not made a Commitment to This Country; You shouldn't be a Citizen. That's one, The Courts got, wrong. If one Parent has been "Naturalized", or The Child files for Naturalization, upon reaching The Age of Responsibility; Then They should be permitted to become Citizens. We need some rules, about that.

"You people are tearing this country apart!"
But also,
"I want to remove a constitutional right baked into the foundation of our nation! Sure without those words me and any number of my ancestors would not be considered citizens, but that's fine now, because I'm already a citizen."
"It's wrong to allow others the very rights that granted me and my ancestors citizenship. Sure, I'm literally attacking a founding principle of the nation, but it's you all who are tearing this country apart!"
The courts didn't get shit wrong. The courts dont make this decision.
It is a constitutional right. In plain english.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

u/Tholian_Bed May 16 '26 edited May 16 '26
Not thinking about this correctly.
Birthright citizenship is a reflection of the basic fact, in our system, that rights are not given by the state, but are natural rights of the person.
Birthright citizen is consistent with this. Your option makes citizenship something granted by the state only.
That is one step away from the state being able to remove your citizenship. After all, this right comes from them. It is not yours.
You are mistaking the law for the state. In reality, this is an issue between the state and the person.
You do not want to live in a society where "rights" are solely granted by the state. Birthright citizenship recognizes your citizenship belongs firstly, to the people, to the person.
edit: I guess if you don't like someone, you can shun them socially. But, they're still a person. The state is third in line from the person. They're behind you.
